What the document says
“The term ``Director'' means the Director of the Bureau.”
The Director is the officer the Act charges with the annual report in section 3(e) and with creating the Realty Ombudsman position in section 4.
What the document actually says
“The term ``Director'' means the Director of the Bureau.”
That sentence, in plain words
The word Director means the head of the BIA.
What this is about
Later parts of the law give the Director jobs to do. One is a report each year.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
